Which Queen album was the band’s first to feature the song “Bohemian Rhapsody”?

The story behind the answer

Queen first featured “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song was written by Freddie Mercury and became the album’s best-known track.

A Night at the Opera was Queen’s fourth studio album and was released in November 1975. It takes its title from the Marx Brothers film of the same name, while its companion album A Day at the Races borrowed its title from another Marx Brothers film.

The record combines progressive rock, hard rock, ballad writing, music-hall influences, and elaborate vocal harmonies. Other tracks include “You’re My Best Friend,” “Love of My Life,” and “The Prophet’s Song.”

“Bohemian Rhapsody” was released as a single before the album and became a landmark recording because of its changing sections and unusual structure. The album itself reached number one in the United Kingdom.
